But Java is also a graveyard of buried temples. In central Java alone are the crumbling remains of more thar a thousand temples, once aliye with native worshippers, smoking altars, and lavish gilts for the gods These temples flourished 1,000 years ago when the Hindu faith was the state religion At that time the Arab invasion swept over Java like a freshet, buried its apeient glory and forced Moham med and the Koran upon the cho colate-coloured natives who now call upon the name of Allah, while deep down in their hearts they worship Siva and Buddha and believe stoutly in ancient asimism

coffee and stroking his long beard drew my attention and raised my curiosity. On asking the hotel clerk who he might be, I was informed that he was noce other than the

famous archaeologist of Java, the explorer of the buried temples, and the person who knew most about them in the Dutch East Indies Immediately. I got in touch with the gentleman and we spent the evening over the coffee cups and I learned many valuable things about the temple ruins in Jara from the coften stained lips of the leated Dr. Van Stein, chief government archicologist of Java."
